Hooman, Marle Underground bulk air heat exchanger Air cooler Heat rejection Copper mine UCTD Dissertation (MEng)--University of Pretoria, 2013. This study investigated different underground bulk air heat exchanger (>100 m3/s) design criteria. It was found that no single document exist covering these heat exchangers and therefore the need was identified to generate a guideline with decision analyser steps to arrive at a technical specification. The study investigated the factors influencing the heat exchanger designs (spray chambers, towers and indirect-contact heat exchangers) and the technical requirements for each. The decision analysers can be used to generate optimised user-friendly fit-for-purpose bulk air heat exchanger (air cooler and heat rejection) designs. The study was tested against a constructed air cooler and heat rejection unit at a copper mine. It was concluded that the decision analysers were used successfully. It is recommended design engineers use these decision analysers to effectively design other heat exchangers. gm2014 Mining Engineering unrestricted 2014-07-30T07:39:58Z 2014-07-30T07:39:58Z 2014-04-16 2013 Dissertation Hooman, M 2013, A Decision analysis guideline for underground bulk air heat exchanger design specifications, MEng dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/41006> E14/4/308/gm http://hdl.handle.net/2263/41006 en © 2014 University of Pretoria.
